Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi

> really want to use it for is controlling my Korg EX-8000

I wrote a preset for my BCR2000 for a Korg DW6000 to show how to do it and I think Peter wrote one for his DW8000 which is an EX8000 with a keyboard isn't it?
You'll find them in the Preset section of the files area.

I also write a DX7 preset which might be better starting point as it has 6 operators, but then again it only has one waveform.

Use the Win machine and get Mark's editor and his BCL guide from his web site Mountain Utilities

Get the manual if you don't have it from Yamaha and look at the back area for the sysex specification of the TG.

Grab my notes SecretBC.pdf in the Documents section of the files area or in the Document section of the BC2000 Wiki mentioned on the home page of this group, to start you off with the Behringer Control Language (BCL)

Now the hard bit - decide what things on the BC control what parameters on the TG.
It can be as simple as you want or as there are so many parameters on the TG you might need to switch from one preset to another to get them all.

I did this to get the 6 operators in my DX7 preset. 
It works well because the BC remembers the last value all of the controllers had when you left that preset. So you can flick back and forward between 2 or 3 presets and the LEDs reset themselves to where you left them.

Give it a go and feel free to ask for help.

Hope this helps
